Myoglobin and Hemoglobin: Discoloration, Lipid Oxidation, and Solvent Access to the Heme Pocket

Conversion of the heme iron in myoglobin (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb) from Fe2+ to Fe3+ is a critical step that causes quality deterioration—such as discoloration and generation of oxidative species, including dissociated heme, that oxidize lipids and proteins—in muscle foods. Increased solvent access t...
